We booked the stay at Pat's while we were finishing up our Thailand Pass quarantine. We were hoping to get out of our hotel early (for as lovely as it was) so we could start exploring Bangkok and when we asked Pat if we could check in a day earlier than expected she was able to unblock the room and allow us the early check-in.
The instructions for how to get to her apartment were beyond helpful as Chinatown can be a bit of a maze at times, especially when you are checking in late at night. The instructions on how to access the key to get in was amazing - with photos. Literally can not explain how detailed she was in making sure we were set to check in without issues.
The room was spotless and having now stayed in three places in Thailand I can tell you that I have yet to stay in a bed as comfortable as hers was. Once you come to Thailand, this will all make sense and you too will appreciate the fantastic foam topper she added to the bed!
The view of the temple is exactly as it is in photos but much nicer in person. The sound of rain on the roof across the way was also lovely when it was raining. The room is perfect for anyone who's looking to have a home base while out exploring Bangkok but so completely fabulous for exploring all the misc alley's and street vendors in Chinatown. We were walking distance to almost everything we wanted to get to and if we weren't it was a quick and cheap BOLT (grab the app - it's like their Uber but cheap) car ride away.
Let me preface this by saying that during our stay in Bangkok we stayed in a high-end completely Instagram worthy beautiful hotel and one night in a fancy brand new high rise with an infinity pool and a view of the city that was to die for. If you are looking for something brand new and pretty then you might not love Pat's place as much as we did.
HOWEVER, if you are looking for a great nights sleep in a perfect little studio that is in an amazing location with a fantastic and responsive owner then Pat's apartment is the only choice you should make! All I can say is that if we are ever in Bangkok again or know of anyone that is - THIS is the apartment we will always recommend. I wish out entire trip had only been in her apartment. It really is a hidden gem! Enjoy!
